The best thing about being a tourist is that you can be insanely colorful.

I love the fall colors but every once in a while I need my bright colors back.

Interesting fact - I am wearing this dress inside out.

Took out the brand tag, and washing instructions meticulously.

No one came to know.

Look 7 (continued) - Smart Casual Travel Wear (VII)

For those you do not like wearing sporty shoes and are about to critic me ...

let me stop you right there ... When you are traveling,

nothing is more important than comfort. Nothing!

Again, the weather demanded I wear my coat.

And that's a bright pink pashmina again!

Look 8 - Smart Casual Travel Wear (IV)

Okay! So now we had a relatively sunny day.

Hence, I brought my mini skirt out

but wore is with checkered stocking and high knee socks.

And do not forget the boots.

These are the most comfortable boots in the world!

Look 9 - Smart Casual Travel Wear (V)

This is my favorite sweater. Has such a Covent School touch to it.

I have been wearing it for over 3 years now. Not giving up on it anytime soon.

My favorite sweater, favorite jacket and favorite boots!

Good day, indeed! :)

Look 10 - Smart Casual Travel Wear (VI)

Last but not the least. I was dressed for a little touristy bus tour

followed by a whole day of air travel!

Btw, this is the "real" side of the dress I wore in Look 7!

Which side do you prefer?

... and to finish off my Fall/Winter 2010 Lookbook, here are some:

Basic tips to dress for Fall/Winter:

1. Get yourself a pair of boot. They will make any outfit pop!

2. Save the heels for special occasions and night outs.

3. Use scarfs and belts to give your look an edge.

4. Add a variation to your look with printed leggings/stockings and pattern-socks!

5. Last but not the least, make sure you look as put together with your Jacket on as you might without it. That I believe is the trickiest part. In a way you are wearing two versions of an outfit daily in this season.

Lovely looks girl! I personally prefer Look 6 & Look 8.....but all of them are fab! Wish I could get 2 do so much layering of winterwear in India!! AND am absolutely in luv with your tan boots now.......they r so versatile & look so comfy!!!

I think I remember you saying that you don't like cold weather (and I whole-heartedly agreed) but... Tanvi you look sooo cute bundled up in your scarves and jackets and coats! I love the way that dress looks completely different inside and out - they should have marketed it as a reversible dress :) And about the shoes, I totally agree that when you are exploring a city you MUST have comfortable shoes. Besides, yours don't really look like sneakers and they are made more 'fun' with the blue tights and pink socks.

As for your f/w fashion tips, I completely agree. Boots are sometimes the only way to keep your feet warm! I lived in my black over the knee boots last winter. And you absolutely must have jackets/coats that you adore because if you are going to be outdoors you are wearing the outerwear most of the time!

I love ur black jacket - The length and fit is just perfect..My favorite is look 8 and look 10..I love boots and ur brown ones are just awesome. we don't have cold weather yet in California but looking at ur boots makes me wanna bring out mine!!
